Doesn't Dawn and Dusk always start at the same time? Dawn happens when the widget first turns bright after being dark and ends when the under sun touches the horizon. Dusk is the same except it turns from light to dark and the southern tip of the moon has to touch the horizon.
I don't claim any expertise in the matter, so a short run down of what I did and what was on my mind will have to do.
Period naming: I just grabbed some general info from some Wikipedia pages and mixed them together. Hoop fully in the right order. Although I still find the Dawn, Dusk & Twilight a little tricky. (see quote part: short recap of grabbed data.)
Period timing: ... But because these named period have all different duration's (and they also seem to overlap), And assuming HnH uses some equally spaced (time duration) periods, like for the changing fishing periods (if there still there, old data and such.), I stretched the real-world up a bit to fit the potential used HnH periods.
I used fishing periods as target, as it makes no sense to me to have named time periods on the HnH clock ... that don't match up with game features.
Periods 2: Assuming fishing is using (03h/09h/15h/21h/03h) time boundaries. ... not really compatible with "Day/Night" character belief.
Periods 3: Assuming fishing is using (00h/06h/12h/18h/24h) time boundaries.
And last:
Used syntax.
Dawn/Morning ::
Switch from
Dawn To
Morning[Morning/Dawn] ::
Morning OR Dawn.
Think that just about covers it. ... I hope.
Ow ... (spawns 2 periods.) -> (span's 2 periods.)
